The video piracy has raised its ugly head again with the pirated versions of many prominent films of Tollywood which were made on massive budgets have made it into the hands of some selfish individuals who want to denounce all the hard work put forth by the cast and crew of these films.
Its Game Changer last month and now it’s Thandel which is now available in HD quality for screening even in a state government run bus and the fact that it was telecast on a private cable channel tells the sorry state of affairs. The lack of full throttled support from government is quite alarming and the anti video piracy cells comprising of many agencies including fans associations of actors which were quite active some time back due to rampant release of counterfiet film CDs has become inactive these days. Thanks also to digitilization and stringent laws, the video piracy that has gone silent after those days has resurfaced again with latest releases like Game Changer, Pushpa 2, Sankranthiki Vastunam, Daaku Maharaaj and Thandel becoming the victims of video piracy.
As a matter of fact, utmost care is being taken by the crew and cast of films during production stage by hiding all the mobile instruments and other gadgets so that no portion of the film was leaked to the public as this itself pose the danger of dampening the spirit of audience before release of the film. But unfortunately, the release of full length piracy versions that too in HD qualtity could not be stopped. Its high time that anti video pircay cells wake up and get vigilent to avert these kind of instances in future. Moreover, this network should definitely might have the support of some insiders who can access to the digital prints and this angle also should be probed seriously. The police and cyber crime personnel should also actively get involved in nabbing and punishing these culprits so that the fear can be inculcated among those who even think of doing video piracy in future.
Interestingly, the remarks made by the producer of Thandel Bunny Vas about those who were arrested in the video piracy case of Geetha Govindam case are still in jail reveals the magnitude of punishment the offenders who resort to video piracy get proves the point. He also warned that those who do piracy will face dire consequences and strict aciton is being taken to identify those who perpetrate video piracy along with those who distribute the pirated versions also and they all will be punished by the law. He has displayed the contact number 9573225069 to report any instance of piracy of Thandel in a recent press conference arranged to address the piracy menace.
So the whole industry has decided to get united yet one more time to fight against the evil of video piracy and its show time for the video pirates as they will not be spared by the industry.
Say NO TO VIDEO PIRACY!
